Description

Price Reduced AGAIN!! Asking Price IS NOW $29,900!! 

Engine runs good at idle speed. 

Needs completely re-powered to perform at normal specs. 

All the other 31 Albin TE's on my MLS are asking over $100k!! Yes, the boat needs work, but if you put in $20k to $40k into her you could have one hell of a boat!! A great project boat for someone who is mechanically inclined and can create a ton of sweat equity!! 

Well sought after Albin 31 Tournament Edition. This is a Pilot House with fully enclosed helm with double Doors Aft. Single Caterpillar Diesel Engine with 420 HP. Direct Drive and Full electronics although they are older electronics.

Boat moved from her marina home in Venice Florida to storage in Port Charlotte Fl. September of 2025 she ran well on the way down. But the engine failed during the mechanical inspection in January (2026) .

She is now on the hard in storage .. Boat will be sold as is where is. Spot is transferable. Current Storage is about $300 per month, You can do your own work in the yard, the yard also has recommended skilled mechanics and other workers available if needed.

BROKERS WALK THRU

The Albin 31 TE is a distinctive Down East-style fisherman whose spacious interior allows her to double as a capable family cruiser. The 31 TE is built on a modified-V hull with a deep forefoot and wide 12'4" beam. This Albin 31’s pilothouse is enclosed with twin bulkhead doors convert the wheelhouse a fully enclosed cabin. 

The cockpit comes with a transom baitwell and fish box, and a transom door is standard along with in-deck storage and rod holders. The interior sleeps four with an athwartships double berth aft of the galley and a convertible dinette/double berth forward. There’s a separate stall shower in the head—a big plus on any small boat with cruising aspirations. Additional features include wide side decks, an opening windshield, transom shower, and raw-water washdown. Powered with 420 HP Cat 3126 Diesel Inboard.. Over 200 were built

She is an older boat, a new owner will probably want to upgrade some electronics, could use buffing and re-painting. The A/C needs a new circuit board. ... All in all this is a well sought out and popular boat that can be bought at tens of thousands less than comparable Albin 31 TE's on the market. So there is plenty of sweat equity a new buyer can be taking advantage of. 

Make a reasonable offer and the boat will be yours!!!
